It is a very cold time for Istanbul so hopefully I expect to have ~100 of these students attending at most and up to the RAC session at most 20 of them will be still alive with us I guess :) And also we had a poster this time!

With FETCH_THREADS parameter one table, partition or sub-partition now can be divided into pieces and each FECTH THREAD reads its own region in this release. Initial tests shows that this way ubSQL is even faster than Oracle’s own Parallel Query :) This is mostly because with PQ even we have N slaves one will do the FETCH and others have to wait on the Query Cordinator. But with FETCH_THREADS parameter of ubSQL we have N real sessions, each fetching, so no contention.

I will be blogging about ubSQL more later, for now please check this presentation, download and test it at your own environment, available platforms are HP-UX-IA64-B11.23 / Linux-2.6.9-5-X86-64 / SunSolaris-Sparc64-5.9 / Tru64-5.1

4. Last weekend we studied Jonathan Lewis‘s latest book Cost Based Fundamentals of Oracle and as I promised the presentations we prepared are shared here. They are Turkish mostly of course and you need to be a member of this Turkish Oracle Users Group to download them, sorry :)

Okey, now it is time to say goodbye, I will be at Fethiye, my homeland, if you are some how nearby come and find me at Er-Öz Hotel so that we can chat on Oracle :)P
